Summary of May 5th Dev Chat
Good job Andy for the buddypress.org redesign! R-a-y is going to go through the site feedback forum thread and compile a summary of remaining issues.
John announced that whilst the default BuddyPress theme won’t change for 1.3, another Automattic designer, Kevin Conboy (who did the Poll Daddy redesign) has been drafted in to develop future BP themes. John wants to see special themes to help draw out specific functionality in each of the components.
John said that 1.2.4 will be out the door by the end of the week, along with the Followers plugin. WordPress 3.0 coming out before BuddyPress 1.3. BuddyPress 1.2.4 will come with better WordPress 3.0 support, so that BP doesn’t break when you upgrade core WP. There are 3 defect tickets for the 1.2.4 release at the moment, and Paul Gibbs asked the core developers to consider some of the enhancement tickets that have patches attached (http://bit.ly/bAUo1A).
Boone B. Gorges and r-a-y wanted to know about documentation, both developer and end-user. The core developers will be working to improve code-level PHPDoc coverage going forward.
Recent spam problems on the buddypress.org website were discussed, as well as an open discussion on how to handle spam in general on BuddyPress. A forum thread or group will be made to discuss in more detail.
Andrea_r reports the twentyten BuddyPress child theme is almost done! There is a demo at http://mommieblogs.com/
Erich73, and 7 others are discussing.

Any news on the Follow/Following plug-in?
Paul Gibbs 8:22 pm on May 5, 2010 Permalink |
Out by the end of the week, as it says above

Sorry, I missed, thank for the update.

I might have missed a note elsewhere re: it’s release — has the plugin been made available? Or is there a repo online where people can check into it’s current state (and even contribute? I’m happy to pitch in if/where I can.)
Paul Gibbs 8:56 pm on May 11, 2010 Permalink
Nothing yet; waiting for Andy Peatling to put it up
Emil 7:26 am on May 14, 2010 Permalink
I heard the follow/following plug-in will be released sometime next month. Bummer, but we’ll have to wait a while for this one.

Sorry I wasn’t there, I was in a presentation on regex, and I also completely forgot I wasn’t in the GMT timezone. Need to readjust to having meetings at lunchtime again.

AFAIK Kevin is just working on some design stuff in his spare time, the fact he works for Automattic is moot.

Some update on the—clearly revised—timeline and current progress would be great!
